Dorthy and Sweetie's Story...

All HSWC animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption (if species appropriate). Application and counseling is required prior to all adoptions.

Individuals interested in adopting a puppy are STRONGLY encouraged todownload and read this FREE ebook. Even if you've raised puppies in the past, this is an invaluable resource to help make your new addition successful!

Please note that visual breed identification of companion animals has been proven to be unreliable, so for most of our animals we provide a best guess at predominant breed or breed mix. We get to know each of our animals as an individual and do our best to describe and place pets based on personality not breed label.

These two sweet babies are ready for their forever home.

We would love to see them adopted together. As sweetie is Deaf and looks guidance from her wonderful sibling Dorthy.

Dorthy is very laid back but such a sweet baby and loves to snuggle. Dorthy is also a polydactyl.

Theses two sweet babies are so amazing and are really needing a loving, caring home. Since Sweetie is deaf she would have to go to a home that she could never go outside.

About Our Rescue Group...

The Humane Society of Washington County was primarily an organization that provided spay and neuter funding for low income families. Spay and neutering is still at the front of our organization but we have also incorporated fostering and adoptions of animals. We are committed to see our community to become a no kill community. Our organization is not funded by local government, we rely only on spay neuter grants and fund raising. We have grown tremendously in the last year with over 100 dogs in foster care. Our cat program began in November of 2014 and is expanding into a feral program. We have 35 cats in our program and have located barns in our area that will let us place feral cats if individuals do not want them returned to their neighborhoods. We continually fund those in need of spay or neuter as well as all animals prior to adoption are spayed or neutered. To continue to grow, we need donations for our programs and those links are available on our website under giving. We also need volunteers. The volunteer application is also available on our website. Working together we will become a no kill community.
